T-Rex Tactical is a wholesale/manufacturing company engaged in the production of law enforcement protective equipment products. The company’s principal place of business is headquartered in Glasgow Scotland. Most of the company’s operation involves the distribution of its products in the following countries: United States, Indonesia, United States, Indonesia, and Europe. All of our products require the inclusion of the most current technology for impact absorption and/or optimal design. The current products on the market have only been minimally revised, and have become the accepted standard not because of their superiority of performance, but because of industrial complacency, and acceptance by the end-user of “good enough” products. Bringing over 50 years of Law Enforcement experience and over 8 years in safety equipment distribution we have paired with innovative designers and precision manufacturers to design and manufacture public order equipment. We strive to make the very best product in the industry, at a fair price and meets the future NIJ standards.
